Community building is an essential component of GBTA’s mission. GBTA seeks to strengthen the bonds that empower the business travel industry, providing opportunities for connecting at a business and personal level. GBTA brings buyers and suppliers together to both deepen existing relationships and form new ones. Members can connect with colleagues, grow their network and give back to the industry — sharing their insights with peers or as mentors to future travel leaders.
From the essentials of travel management to research and member polls on hot topics to peer learning and insights, GBTA provides the forum for members to learn about what is important to them. GBTA also has the privilege and duty to represent the many varied views of the global business travel community. GBTA provides the space for learning and debate on global trends, but also their impact and how that might vary by region. And representing the collective voices, GBTA advocates for the common interests of the industry with regional policymakers.

Mar 26, 2025Head to Jackson Hole and Revel in the Remote Possibilities
For a city girl like me, stepping into the town square of Jackson, in northwest Wyoming, felt like walking onto a slicker set of the television show Gunsmoke. Wooden sawtooth facades surround Jackson’s Town Square (a.k.a. George Washington Memorial Park). Visitors stroll the boardwalk connecting the Western-style buildings, each with a large window displaying goods, restaurants and art galleries. Iconic arches, assembled with discarded elk antlers from nearby National Elk Refuge, perch on each corner of the town square. Stagecoaches pulled by teams of horses parade other city-dwellers around the park.
